33 – ‘Abd Allah narrated to us: ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Sahmi related to us; Dawud ibn al-Muhabbar informed us, from al-Hasan ibn Dinar, from Qatadah, who said:
“Luqman said to his son, ‘My dear child, know that the summit of nobility and honor, in this world and the Hereafter, is sound intellect. When a servant’s mind is wholesome, it conceals his faults and puts right his shortcomings.’”
٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّهْمِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: " قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ: يَا بُنَيَّ، اعْلَمْ أَنَّ غَايَةَ السُّؤْدُدِ وَالشَّرَفِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ حُسْنُ الْعَقْلِ، وَأَنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا حَسُنَ عَقْلُهُ غَطَّى ذَلِكَ عُيُوبَهُ وَأَصْلَحَ مَسَاوِئَهُ "
